1966 Mustang Parts

After just launching the Mustang during the previous model year, Ford made few changes to the car in 1966, leaving most of the 1966 Ford Mustang parts very similar to the previous year's model. However, several revised 66 Mustang parts were introduced on these coupes, convertibles and fastbacks, including new wheels, a revised grille pattern, a new instrument cluster, new trim and side scoops, and an automatic transmission option for some V-8 models. There were also several new or different colors for this year's model. These new 1966 Mustang parts separated this year's model from the previous year and led to the more than 600,000 being sold.

Ford Mustang 1966

By Bill Tumas: When looking at the 1966 Mustang side-by-side with the previous year's model, it can be hard to see the differences since they are so similar. However, one of the most easy to spot changes is the grille. The 1966 Mustang features a slotted grille, versus a honeycomb pattern on the previous Mustang. The running horse also did not have four bars extending from it on the 1966 Ford Mustang. The emblems on the side were also revised for the 1966 Mustang, as were the wheel covers and gas cap. New colors both inside and out were also introduced on the 1966 Mustang, with several old ones being removed, setting the 1966 Mustang parts apart even further.

Under the hood, Ford introduced the C4 "cruise-o-matic" 3-speed automatic transmission on several of the optional V8 engines in the 1966 Mustang, which was stronger and more efficient than the outgoing model. Ford also added one of the first AM/FM mono automobile radios, along with a handful of special edition models for 1966. The more than 600,000 sold that year made it the best selling Ford Mustang ever.
